Crazy its been 15 years. My youngest were wee. Though i found you .. or maybe you found me we had a one of a kind connection. It was as though we grew up together. I had always wanted siblings and especially a brother. In the time we had and never seeing you in person I felt full. Would have loved an in person connection, but we definitely had a spiritual one. You always knew when something was going on and would call. Same on my side. You were very protective and a great big brother!! I know you watch over all of your family Its cool one of my children has some of your characteristics and apparently you watch over him as well. :-) Thank you for everything you did earthside and are doing now. Miss you always! Wish you were still earthside and we lived close so we could spend earthside time together Thank you for caring for me more than anyone else did while you were earthside . The love and loyalty was definitely felt and returned !!

Jeff was a gentle, caring, intelligent man. He genuinely cared for others. His joy was contagious, his love for his boys was unfailing, his dedication and commitment to his work unmatched.

I had the honor of having Jeff on my team in SS7 Translations. Jeff brought a sense of family to his team and we all were very close to him. He is and will be missed very much. My deepest sympathy to Jeff's family.

My father was a true man. He contributed his knowledge for the greater advancement of humankind through the advancement of communication. He had a great sense of humor, and an extremely hard worker. He knew life was short, priceless, something to be cherished. And so he gave his best. He was unselfish, kind, with a strong heart and a strong mind. My deepest regret is that i never really proved to my father that i could do the same. His only and deepest wish for me as his son is to be better than him, to do good in life, for life is short and you only get one chance. I have never told my dad what my definition of success is. My definition of success is not how much money you make, or what social class you belong to, but by how much you contribute to mankind, contributions that will last long after you have moved on whether you are named for it or not. I am confident that if he were alive, he would agree. I am also confident on a deeper level that i will be better than him, and i will be successful. My regret is that he wont see this happen, because i have held out so long, but in my heart I know that I will never let him down, and he never doubted this, even down to the last minutes of his time on Earth. He was a strong willed, determined, and intelligent man, and I am proud that I will carry out his wish for me to be better than him, to contribute, to adapt and overcome any obstacle, and to be truely happy.
I love you Dad, and I am looking forward to seeing you again at Gods right hand.

My younger brother's generosity, kind soul, motivation and love of life was an inspiration. He loved his Harley's, cars and all kinds of music. I miss our conversations, the constant twinkle in his eyes and his laugh. He was always fun to be with. Jeff was the best brother any sister could ever ask for. I'm sorry for my baby nephew, Clay. He'll never get to know really know his father. I'll always deeply miss him, more than anyone could know.

My prayer for Jeff’s family is that you will be comforted and strengthened by God’s love and provision during your time of great pain and loss. Jeff is the type of person that his friendship, passion, and character created a positive and lasting impression on all who were blessed enough to know him.

I too worked with Jeff for many years and marveled at what an amazing man he was. Always had a great sense of humor and willingness to help anyone. During my daughter's cancer journey, he kept her in his thourghts and prayers and continued ask about her. Words will never be able to express how much that meant to us. He touched many lives and will be greatly missed.

Kim and I are devastated that we cannot be at the service to support our family. Jeff was a great kid that I only had the pleasure knowing briefly due to ongoing geographic barriers. I know the character of the mother who raised him and, after reading other entries in this guestbook, it only confirms the man I knew he would become. Jeff's passing is a loss to our entire collected family and his physical absence will never be overshadowed by the love and kindness for which he will always be remembered. All our prayers are with those who knew and loved him.
